Edmonton: Great sightlines everywhere in the building, but a fucking dump. Everything is cheap and old, because everyone knew it was going to be replaced for the last decade, so everything's done on the cheap. Beer's reasonably priced at $8 a pint. Good public transportation to and from the arena.

Calgary: Decent transportation, beer is same crappy deal as Edmonton. The Gordless flames play there, so it's tainted as fuck. Public transportation is decent.

Ottawa: Sightlines aren't bad, but not great. Beer is not too brutally expensive. Getting to and from the arena is a fucking nightmare, even on the bus.

Big Joe, Detroit: Love this place. Bring your crampons, the stairs are steep as fuck. You can drink right up until they take your ticket, and a giant one will be replaced riiiiiight inside the door at a very reasonable price. Kinda creepy that everyone at the game was white but everyone working at the game was black. Racial divide in American is real. Getting to and from the game sucks because Detroit has underfunded, skeletal public transportation.

MSG, New York: Great access to public transportation, because it's built on a fucking train station. Brooklyn Lager for $9, which is the best beer I've ever gotten at hockey game, and for Manhattan, is a steal. Sightlines aren't terrible, but the atmosphere is lazy for low draw teams. I made a friend screaming at the refs in Yiddish.

ACC: Toronto. Home of the worst franchise in professional sports. Shitty beer is $16.75 a pint. Have to deal with Toronto fans. I go here for every Oilers game. It sucks. Worse than Calgary, and they're the worst. Ok access to public transportation, if the subway decides to work that day.
